What can I learn from an Austin Japanese class?

Japanese is one of the world's major languages, and written records of the language date all the way back to 700 A.D. That's over a thousand years of history and culture! With such a rich canon, you have much to learn from an Austin Japanese course. Knowing Japanese opens you up to countless works of literature, history, and art. Your instructor may choose to have students engage with Japanese culture or literature. For example, you may read Japanese novels such as "The Wind Up Bird Chronicle," or discuss the work of Japanese artists like Yayoi Kusama.

Japanese instructors can cover a variety of concepts in a course, beginning with the basics of vocabulary, phrasing, and pronunciation. Students may learn about the Japanese noun system, as well. In Japanese, nouns do not have a number (singular or plural) assigned to them. For example, the noun "hon" could mean "book" or "books." Other nouns are effectively plural, such as the word "hitobito" which means "people." While this may seem confusing, an Austin Japanese course can clarify these concepts and others. All courses taught by expert Japanese instructors who pass through a strict vetting process, and all of the instructors are enthusiastic about teaching students Japanese.
